Lyrics to “I Can”
Chorus
I know I can
Be what I want to be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I want to be
[Kids]
I know I can (I know I can)
Be what I want a be (be what I want a be)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard at it)
I'll be where I want a be (I'll be where I want a be)

verse
Be, be, 'fore we came to this country
We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys
It was empires in Africa called Kush
Timbuktu, where every race came to get books
To learn from black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans
Asian, Arabs and gave them gold when
Gold was converted to money it all changed
Money then became empowerment for Europeans
The Persian military invaded
They heard about the gold, the teachings, and everything sacred
Africa was almost robbed naked
Slavery was money, so they began making slave ships
Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went
He was so shocked at the mountains with black faces
Shot off they nose to impose what basically
Still goes on today, you see?
If the truth is told, the youth can grow
Then learn to survive until they gain control
Nobody says you have to be gangstas, hoes
Read more learn more, change the globe
Ghetto children, do your thing
Hold your head up, little man, you're a king
Young Princess when you get your wedding ring
Your man is saying "She's my queen"

2. Our form of public health assistance is that we heed perspectives. We have to realize y current USFG aid or assistance is failing.
card#1 western health assistance has been grounded in a colonist word view.
Nicholas Freudenberg, Professor of Urban Public Health at Hunter College and of Social Psychology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York., 2000, "Health and Culture: Beyond the Western Paradigm," Health Education Research 15.4, p.508-10


Card#2 Western policies have failed because we perceive Africa to be sick.
Susan Hunter, Department of Political Science West Virginia University Morgantown, WV, 2003 ,Black Death AIDS in Ariica, , p. 52.

Card#3 Western policies have been carried out in a hegemonic manner where the west acts without any consideration, continuing the legacy of colonialism.
Collins Airhihenbuwa, Associate Professor at Pennsylvania State University, 1995 “Health and Culture”.


Card#4 Euro centric attitudes concerning health in Africa are embedded in an ethnocidal way of thinking. The knowledge’s of whole societies of people have been excluded from the planetary production of knowledge. Challenging this way of thinking requires that we include the perspectives of these silenced societies. Failure to do so only insures the continuation of genocidal violence.
Walter Mignolo, Doctorate de 3ème Cycle from the École des Hautes Études, Paris, 2000, Local Histories/Global Designs, , p.68-70.


ADVOCACY TEXT: AS THE AFFIRMATIVE TEAM WE ADVOCATE DECOLONIZING THE WAY IN WHICH WE CONCEPTUALIZE PUBLIC HEALTH ASSISTANCE TO AFRICA. WE HEED PERSPECTIVES & REWRITE HISTORY TO INCLUDE AFROCENTRIC KNOWLEDGES AND HISTORIES AS A FORM OF PUBLIC HEALTH ASSISTANCE TO AFRICANS. THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS AN EFFECT ON THE DEBATE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

Card#5 We cannot understand the structures of oppression by thinking about them abstractly. We must heed the perspectives of the oppressed in order to investigate the complex relations of power and domination that exist in society. It is only supplementing our own perspectives with those of others that we can figure out how best to act in the world.

Cant find qulifications Brent Henze,, 2000,"Who Says Who Say? "Reclaiming Identity Realist Theory and the Predicament Postmodernism nE.d Paula Moya and Michael Hames-Garcia,

Card#6 truly heeding perspectives and challenging the social injustices require that we decide where we stand in the struggle against oppression. This decision shapes our responses and our capacity to envision new acts of resistance.
cant find qulifications Fiona Campbell, 12/4/1997 ,http://members.tripod.com/fionacampbell/speech_acts_on_problematising_empowerment.htm

Card#7 we must view Africans as subjects and human agents instead of objects
Queeneth Mkabela, University of Zululand, South Africa, Mar.1,2005 (The Qualitative Report Volume 10 Number 1 March 2005 178-189 http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/QR10-1/mkabela.pdf, “Using the Afrocentric Method in Researching Indigenous African Culture”)

Card#8 An Afro Centric paradigm is key to relocate research from an African's viewpoint.

Card#9 the role of the judge in this round isn’t to function as a policymaker. This year’s resolution allows for you to move beyond that paradigm because it doesn’t call for you to enact a policy, instead you should take the role of a specific intellectual. You should take the bottom up mind set in making you decision.
ken was on it and di the partner stuff.
